Abstract
A head-mountable display device includes a housing defining a front opening and a rear opening, a display screen disposed in the front opening, a display assembly disposed in the rear opening, a first securement strap coupled to the housing, the first securement strap including a first electronic component, a second securement strap coupled to the housing, the second securement strap including a second electronic component, and a securement band extending between and coupled to the first securement strap and the second securement strap.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A head-mountable electronic device, comprising:
a housing; an input member located on the housing and configured to receive an input from a user of the head-mountable electronic device; an outward facing sensor attached to the housing, the outward facing sensor configured to capture an image of an environment of the user in response to receiving the input; and an inward facing sensor attached to the housing, the inward facing sensor configured to detect a facial feature of the user in response to receiving the input.
2 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the input member is configured to toggle between a first activation of the outward facing sensor and a second activation of the inward facing sensor.
3 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a processor configured to generate media comprising the environment and the facial feature.
4 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the input is a first input; the input member is configured to receive a second input different than the first input; the outward facing sensor is configured to capture the image in response to the first input; and the inward facing sensor is configured to capture the facial feature of the user in response to the second input.
5 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein, in response to receiving the input at the input member, the outward facing camera is configured to capture a first video and the inward facing camera is configured to capture a second video.
6 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the input member comprises a dial.
7 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the input member comprises a tactile button.
8 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the input member comprises a capacitive touch sensor.
9 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the facial feature comprises a gaze direction of the user.
10 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a display configured to project light toward an eye of the user, the display configured to depict the image.
11 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a display configured to project light toward an eye of the user, the display configured to depict the facial feature.
12 . The head-mountable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the outward facing sensor comprises a front camera configured to capture the image; the image is a first image; and the inward facing sensor comprises a rear camera configured to capture a second image of a face of the user.
13 . A head-mountable display, comprising:
a housing comprising:
a front end facing an environment of the head-mountable display;
a rear end facing a user wearing the head-mountable display;
a front facing camera attached to the front end and configured to observe a feature of the environment; a rear facing camera attached to the rear end and configured to detect an eye feature of the user; an input member accessible on an exterior of the housing; and a processor electrically coupled to the input member and configured to cause the head-mountable display to perform an action based on input received at the input member.
14 . The head-mountable display of claim 13 , wherein the input member at least partially defines the exterior of the housing.
15 . The head-mountable display of claim 13 , wherein:
the processor is electrically coupled to the front facing camera and the rear facing camera; and the action comprises:
capturing a first image using the front facing camera;
capturing a second image using the rear facing camera; and
generating a combined image based on the front facing camera and the rear facing camera.
16 . The head-mountable display of claim 13 , wherein the feature comprises real world content, the processor configured to overlay the real world content with virtual content projected on a user-facing display.
17 . The head-mountable display of claim 13 , wherein the front facing camera is further configured to capture a facial feature of the user.
18 . The head-mountable display of claim 17 , wherein the processor is configured to generate an image of the user based on the facial feature captured by the front facing camera and the eye feature captured by the rear facing camera.
19 . A head-mountable display device, comprising:
a frame; a front facing sensor system attached to the frame and configured to detect an environment of a user; and an optical module attached to the frame and configured to detect a facial feature of the user; an input member accessible from an exterior of the head-mountable display device; and a processor electrically coupled to the input member and configured to cause the head-mountable display device to perform an action based on input received at the input member.
20 . The head-mountable display device of claim 19 , wherein the front facing sensor system is configured to:
capture a video of the environment while the input member is actuated; and cease capturing the video in response to the input member no longer being actuated.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
